[1.1.26] Sometimes item, terrain and gui graphics get messed up

Post by Sxaktosxafo »

Sometimes, the game freezes for a few moments, then this funny thing happens:

.
Sometimes, only the items and gui are affected, while the terrain stays normal. I haven't been able to determine what triggers this, it seems totally random. If I quit to the main menu, the graphics in the background factory are also silly. Apart from the graphics, everything works fine, and restarting the game solves the issue. If I save, quit, and restart the game, when loading the save the image in the saved games menu has "silly graphics", but everything works fine when loaded.

This happened to me a couple of times right after the 1.1 stable release, but lately it has become more frequent. I use minimal graphics settings (my computer isn't very strong - the game usually runs smoothly at 60ups/30fps though).

Thanks. There were no significant changes in rendering between 1.0 and 1.1 (no changes at all, besides night lighting changes), but more graphics assets vere added, so I think graphics driver is glitching due to increased memory pressure.

Try to open Factorio properties in Steam Library and set launch options to

Code: Select all

--force-graphics-preset=very-low
if that doesn't help, try to add

Code: Select all

--gfx-safe-mode

Thanks!
I have been playing a little with the first suggested launch option, and the issue seems to be solved: thanks for the help!
